In Romeo and Juliet the main conflict revolves around the Capulet’s and the Montague’s old feud. This then creates tension throughout the play because this old feud branches out into a lot of conflict between individual people. The prologue is very important in this play because it sets the way for the rest of the play‚ warning the audience that it is going to be a tragedy. The prologue is written in the form of a sonnet with a strict rhyme scheme and using iambic pentameter. This shows the audience

The two poems ’Disabled’ and ’Mental Cases’‚ both written by Owen‚ are about war and cover similar but also very different situations. ‘Disabled’ displays the thoughts and feelings of a young man who has lost his limbs after suffering the injuries of war. ‘Mental Cases’‚ on the other hand‚ captures the damage to men’s minds as a result of war. Owen’s aim is to shock and to describe in stark detail the ghastly physical symptoms of mental torment. The main consequence that is explored in ’Disabled’

In the novel‚ the author uses a lot of dialogue to create the suspense needed to make the storyline interesting. For example‚ on page 259 in chapter 19‚ the narrator is speaking

In the novel ‘The Color Purple’ Alice Walker uses a narrative voice including a variety of techniques including tone‚ syntax‚ lexis and punctuation. Walker uses this range of techniques to represent Celie’s vulnerability. The syntax that Walker uses to represent Celie’s voice is often short‚ simple and lacking in description. ‘I am fourteen years old’ shows this. The almost constant use of short‚ simple sentences could indicate to the reader that Celie has a very basic understanding of written

efforts. Wilfred Owen did not like that those poets did not truly know what was going on‚ yet pretended that they did know. Wilfred Owen’s poem is very significant in the way that the poem shows what war is really like. Owen’s poem quickly became my favorite poem ever written. Therefore‚ I recommend that you keep Owen’s poem “Dulce et Decorum Est‚” because he uses imagery and alliteration to effectively relay that war is cruel‚ and war is lied about. Through effective visual imagery‚ Owen shows the
